Pulmonary edema that isn't caused by increased pressures in your heart is called noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. In this condition, fluid may leak from the capillaries in your lungs' air sacs because the capillaries themselves become more permeable or leaky, even without the buildup of back pressure from your heart.
So in other words, ambulatory medical care is a term for almost all of the medical appointments and treatments people receive regularly.
New ambulatory centers offer everything except inpatient care. The Children's Hospital of Michigan Specialty Center, which opens in February, will have a 24-hour pediatric emergency room, operating rooms for a range of pediatric surgeries and outpatient care in several specialties.
